Hyperliquid just rebooted its airdrop engine. Season 2 starts at block 0 for everyone, which means even fresh wallets can outrank Season 1 whales—if they focus on point multipliers.
Fast facts
Unclaimed pool: ~420 M $HYPE (42 % of supply)
Snapshot: 1 August 2025, 00:00 UTC
Gas cost: < $0.01 per trade
Fee rebates: up to 50 % when staking $HYPE
Three winning plays
Volume farming – Rotate majors like SOL/USDC; slice orders to stay on the maker side and farm the +30 % rebate.
Stake-and-LP – Lock $HYPE for passive points, then provide liquidity on HyperSwap. A single script can auto-compound rewards.
Dev multiplier – Deploy a dummy ERC-20 contract on HyperEVM, bridge $500 in liquidity and claim a one-time 5 000-point bonus.
Leaderboard secret: the algorithm loves smooth PnL more than moonshot wins. If you hedge exposures on a CEX, you can post flat gains while racking up maker volume.
Heads-up: phishing sites are popping up. The legit claim flow never asks for your seed phrase—only a signature.
